I have about 10, so I'm flinching.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Watching the VHS, my mom and her sister were just playing on incredibly tall slides. The kind you KNOW they tore out in the 70s. Oh, and now they are going on a sleigh ride with 4 beautify black beauties pulling the sleigh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Aw, I wish I still had a VHS deck lying around, I'd digitize Buffista memories for free! But we got rid of all of them when we moved offices a few years back.

We got rid of all our VHS movies and I only had the home movies left and a couple of unidentified tapes. Well, 2 of the mystery tapes had Buffy episodes - shocker - and the other had some K-Bug adorableness. The old stuff, it looks like I have 3 copies. I'm really hoping they are dups and not 3 separate home movies.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can do VHS to digital conversions - that is, I have what I believe to be the necessary equipment, I haven't actually done any. Anyone wants to leap at that opportunity, I will hook it all up and give it a try.
Sounds like you have a pretty good deal set up, though, Suzi. I wonder whatever happened to our old home movies - my grandfather had film from when my mom was a kid that would be fun to see again, and my dad probably has reels and a projector tucked away somewhere.

The guy says that digitizing from reels give better quality than from reels converted to VHS to digital. Unfortunately I don't have the original reels.

We have hundreds of old VHS, mostly stuff pulled off TV. I think it's time to start talking to Hubby about cleaning stuff out. A lot of this is probably in YouTube, because we grabbed lots of obscure news stuff, like Hirohito's funeral, because we like exotic ritual things.

If I can get in the gates I have a key on the porch. But none of my neighbors appear to be home.
